Ghee Dosa / Nei Roast

Nei roast/ ghee dosa was a favourite when I was a student in Kerala. My sister and I loved the masala dosas and ghee roasts in Indian Coffee House in Thalassery. When we went shopping in those days, we ensured we had just enough for the treat at Coffee House and the bus fare back home before we splurged rest of the money we had. With nei roast, I loved how it will come as a cone with that dollop of butter placed on top. I still cannot make the cone, but my ghee roast is becoming the masters’ in taste with time.

Idli batter is used for making ghee dosa. But it needs little more water in the batter to make thin dosas.

Ingredients:

Idli Batter : 2 Cups

Water : 1/4 cup

Oil (1 teaspoon for each dosa)

Ghee/butter (one dollop on each dosa)

Preparation:

Step1: Mix well idli batter and water.

Step2: On a non-stick dosa/pancake pan, Once it is medium hot, pour a laddle of batter.

I love cooking and trying out various recipes, and also to come up with ways to achieve good results in reasonable time and effort 🙂 All of the recipes I post here were tried out by me at least 2-3 times (if not a few dozen times) before I was happy with a simple method which gives me good results. Hope you enjoy making these dishes. Would be thrilled if you let me know in the comments how your experiment went.
If you have recipe requests for any Malabar dishes, please contact me and I’ll make every effort to get the recipe, try it out and post it here.
